I've seen some of this girls work and it is amazing. She is a great actress. She has a very wholesome and kind quality about her which you almost never see now days! I can't wait to see her upcoming projects!!!!!!

shareI thought I'd be watching this show because Constance Marie and Lea Thompson portray the mothers. Now I'm watching it for the daughters!! Katie is amazing. Hope we see lots more of her from now on!!
shareI saw her in Switched at Birth a few nights ago and was very impressed.
shareShe is such a sweet and lovely girl. Hope she appears much more often on TV. I like her very much :)
shareWith her condition, she will not be a "superstar"! How many deaf roles are there likely to be waiting for her? Marlee Maitlan has never had a big career, I'm sorry, but she won't either!
She isn't deaf. She plays a completely deaf character. She herself might be partially deaf. Might mean one ear, might be slightly deaf in both. Might mean she goes through times of partial deafness cause of her disorder. I heard her in an interview she understood everyone and spoke completely without issue. That's according to IMDB. So it might not be true.
An interview with her.

Ok then, she can speak well. But the point remains that I don't see her as a future "superstar". Being pretty isn't enough. She is one of the least adept of the main cast.
shareIf by "adept" you mean "well-known." BTW she's set to appear on The Big Bang Theory as Penny's deaf friend.
